On the ride into work, a radio station asked the question about first dates and gifts. Both ladies and gents, chime in here.
'An email to the radio station stated that this person seen a woman walking down the street with a bouquet of flowers and a bag. The flowers were unspecified but the bag had a brand new Bible in it. The lady told the writer she got these gifts on a first date; however, she was a little weirded out by it.'
I sometimes think something small would be OK. Nothing like a bouquet of flowers or a new Bible, but maybe one long stem rose. I would have to do some research first, of course.
I wanted throw this out there, too, to get a sense of how the scenario seems to other people...One listener called in suggesting gifts are sometimes good, depending on the situation and the delivery, in this case anyways. On the first date, the man brought a bouquet of flowers with him. While his date was pretty surprised for the flowers but they weren't for her, they were for her mother.
So, guys, is bringing a gift something you occasionally do or maybe have seen someone else bring a gift a first date?
Ladies, would you be OK with a gift or would it actually weird/creep you out?

Depends on the situation. I went out with a friend of mine from high school (I was 25 then so this was a long time friend)who brought along a friend of his. The friend then asked if we could go out and I said yes. On our first date he brought me a red rose and all during our dating he bought me gifts. We are still friends actually and broke up due to non bendable issues (basically religious reasons). For a first meeting from a dating site I suppose a flower would be nice but nothing too expensive because what if we didn't like each other? I wouldn't expect anything though unless we started dating and then would expect nice gifts on Christmas, my birthday and Valentines Day like my ex did.
Sadly, I dated a bunch of losers who never bought me anything. I deserved better than these men.
When I was doing OLD, I had TWO guys who brought me homegrown honey. Neither one raised the bees themselves -- they got the honey from friends who were beekeepers.
Yes, I live in the Pacific Northwest. Land of self-reliance and slightly weird people.

OMG, homegrown honey.
I love honey and maple syrup, both go great with tea.
